What are the differences between demerara sugar and brown sugar, and how do they affect the taste and texture of baked goods?
Demerara sugar has larger crystals and a slightly molasses flavor compared to brown sugar. Brown sugar is moister and has a stronger molasses taste. In baked goods, demerara sugar can add a crunchier texture and a subtle caramel flavor, while brown sugar can make the baked goods chewier and richer in flavor.

What is the difference between Demerara and Turbinado Sugar?
Demerara sugar and Turbinado sugar are both types of minimally processed cane sugar with distinct characteristics. Demerara sugar is light brown, has larger crystals, and retains some molasses, giving it a rich flavor, while Turbinado sugar, often referred to as raw sugar, is slightly less refined and has a golden-brown color with a mild flavor. The primary difference lies in their processing methods and crystal size, with Demerara typically having larger crystals than Turbinado. Both sugars can be used in baking and as sweeteners, but they may impart different flavors and textures to dishes.
What can be Demerara granulated and caster?
Demerara sugar is unrefined, usually somewhat coarse but dry sugar. It is not brown sugar, which has clumps together. It is pale golden in color and can be called either raw sugar or turbinado sugar in the States. Caster sugar is a very fine grade granulated sugar, most often used for baking as it causes cakes to rise better, or for putting on fruits and berries as it melts faster. It is sometimes sold as berry sugar.I recently bought some demerara sugar which was ground up to caster grade. It worked very well and was delicious in a lemon cake.You can make your own caster sugar by whirling up granulated in a blender.
Can you use demerara sugar instead of granulated for baking?
Yes you could, BUT demerara sugar is less refined than granulated sugar and will therefore impart a molasses like taste and a brown colour to the product being baked when using it. This is good in some cases (eg a fruit cake) but not desirable in others (eg a Victoria sandwich).
What is the difference between demerara and muscovado sugar for making chutney?
Demerara sugar is a light brown sugar with large crystals and a mild caramel flavor, making it suitable for adding sweetness without overwhelming other flavors in chutney. In contrast, muscovado sugar is a darker, more intensely flavored sugar with a sticky texture and a rich molasses taste, which can contribute depth and complexity to chutney recipes. While both sugars can enhance sweetness, muscovado will impart a stronger flavor profile, whereas demerara provides a subtler sweetness. The choice depends on the desired flavor intensity in the chutney.
Does coffee go with brown sugar?
Yes, coffee goes nicely with brown sugar. You can use white sugar in coffee, if you like, but brown sugar (particularly Demerara) has a little more flavour that complements the coffee.
